Generac Generator Filter

This replacement air filter fits the engine on a generator. Air filters serve an important purpose in ensuing that dirt, dust, pollen, and other debris does not reach the combustion chamber, where it could cause damage. Instead, the filter traps and collects these contaminants. However, over time, the air filter will slowly clog with trapped debris, which will restrict airflow to the engine. This causes the engine to work harder than normal, consuming additional fuel, reducing performance, and increasing wear on internal components.Periodically, the owner will need to replace the air filter element. The frequency will vary based on use. Users should check their owner's manuals for specific change interval recommendations. To change the air filter, simply open the air filter housing, remove the old air filter, clean any debris that might have accumulated inside the box, and then install the new air filter. Close the housing when finished.This air filter is a genuine OEM part and is designed for specific Generac generators. It is sold individually.

The Generac air filter element is used to clean the air that enters the carburetor of the generator. This is a two-part filter with a pre-cleaner and a cleaner. The dual filter provides added cleaning before the air gets to the carburetor.Dirt and debris obstructs the flow of air and limits how much air makes it to the carburetor. If the carburetor does not receive proper airflow, this can result in reduced performance and more gas use. Visual inspection, as well as scheduled maintenance, is important in keeping the generator running efficiently. If a visual inspection shows that the filter is clogged, it should be removed and replaced, regardless of the maintenance schedule. Remove the air filter cover by loosening the knob that holds it in place. Remove and dispose of the air filter. Place the new air filter inside and replace the cover. If the air filter is not visibly dirty, check the maintenance schedule and replace the filter if it is time according to the schedule. Regular maintenance and replacement will keep the generator operating properly and efficiently, costing less to operate when airflow is optimal.This is a genuine OEM Generac part that is sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold individually and in packs of two. This air filter is for use in Generac personal generators.
